Ahead of Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections, the Interfaith forum of Muslim and Christian Women’s Association has called for calm among the residents of Kaduna State.
Addressing a press conference yesterday, the coordinators of the association, Hajiya Amina Kazaure, Mrs. Elizabeth Abuk and Hajiya Daharatu Ahmed, asked religious and traditional leaders as well as stakeholders to embrace peace.
They asked the youth to desist from being used as political thugs and agents of provocative and abusive utterances.
They also urged political actors to adhere to the ideals of the peace accord signed.
According to them, ”As mothers of a culture of peace, we are using this medium to strongly advocate for peace in our dear state due to the way and manner in which the politics of Kaduna state has turned into.
“We have observed that there are pockets of tension in the political arena which no doubt is a serious threat. Politics is not a do or die affairs and should not be based on religious and ethnic lines.
